Unit 2 Module 1 Vocab Quiz

wave

• a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
• a wave that can travel only through matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the wave travels

longitudinal wave

• a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
• a wave that can travel only through matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the wave travels

transverse wave

• a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
• a wave that can travel only through matter
• a wave in which the disturbance is parallel to the direction the wave travels

mechanical wave

• a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
